The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972: 453 The Origins of Long Yi (First Update)

"Have you ever removed his mask?" Princess Xinyang asked.

The Dragon Shadow Guard does not easily allow their masks to be removed. Gu Jiao didn’t know if Xiao Hen had ever removed it, but others who have tried to take off Long Yi’s mask are now under two-metre-tall weeds.

"I did once," Gu Jiao said truthfully.

Princess Xinyang sighed softly, not bothering to ask why she had done it. It was already done, so asking was pointless.

"However, removing the mask of a Dragon Shadow Guard is very dangerous. You’d better not do it casually in the future," Princess Xinyang kindly reminded her.

Gu Jiao nodded, "Okay."

Princess Xinyang couldn’t help but take another look at Gu Jiao, who could sometimes be exasperating and sometimes touchingly docile.

She took a sip of tea and said, "Long Yi’s tattoo is not on his face, but on his back, a blue dragon."

"Hm?" Gu Jiao’s eyes widened.

On his back, sure, but a dragon?

Was that why he was called Long Yi?

"Does Your Highness have other Dragon Shadow Guards? Are they the same?" Gu Jiao inquired.

"No, only Long Yi is like this; the others have tattoos of Xuanwu on their faces," Princess Xinyang explained.

Just like the Emperor’s Dragon Shadow Guards.

But why is only Long Yi so special?

Gu Jiao continued, "Are the others as skilled in martial arts as Long Yi?"

Princess Xinyang shook her head again, "No, Long Yi’s martial prowess is the highest."

This was strange, why was Long Yi’s skill the highest? Or perhaps the question should be, why had the previous Emperor given the most skilled Dragon Shadow Guard to Princess Xinyang?

Did the late Emperor intend for Princess Xinyang to rebel?

It seemed as though she had guessed Gu Jiao’s confusion. Princess Xinyang faintly curved her lips and said, "The late Emperor gave me the Dragon Shadow Guards to protect against Marquis Xuanping."

Gu Jiao: ...Searching for the Emperor’s mind is like searching for a needle in the ocean.
